I can't say for sure lately, but I know in previous years ratings were absolutely abysmal. But then again, what really else is there. Unless you're on a computer to get Trib Live and ESPN 970 you pretty much need to listen to on the internet as well with their weak sauce signal. if you want local talk, until Madden comes on I guess theyre the most accessable option?

Yeah Bob FM. Second how can they not see how downhill The X has gone. It went from alternative, new music, to basically at this point 90's grunge/80's-90's Metallica with an occasional new song sprinkled in.

I'm not saying they shouldn't play it but they might as well create a new station genre of "modern classic rock" at this point considering the era the majority of the music they seem to play came out in.

Today Madden asked Rossi if the Kovalchuk situation gave the Penguins motivation to get something done quickly with Malkin. Rossi kindly informed him that Kovalchuk "retired" after Malkin had already signed. Madden is just getting lazy now.

People in the know might have known that Kovalchuk was going to do that. I'm sure it wasn't 100% a surpise to everyone.
